document.write( "Question 161672: Working on Chemistry homework. Could not understand this problem in class, still don't understand. \"The density of an antifreeze soltuion measured .78g/ml. The solution was a mixture of 40% water and 60% antifreeze compound. How many g of antifreeze compound are necessary to prepare 80.0 mL of antifreeze solution?\" I tried setting up my equation a couple different ways and I am sure I did not get the right answer. I got 104 g/Antifreeze. Please help me figure out how to set up this equation! \n" ); document.write( "

total mass of solution is 80(.78) or 62.4g\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "BY VOLUME
\n" ); document.write( "40% of 80 ml is 32 ml __ water is 1g/ml __ so 32g of water\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "62.4-32 or 30.4g of antifreeze\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "BY WEIGHT
\n" ); document.write( "60% of 62.4 is 37.4g of antifreeze
